MY first trip as deck boy was round the land on SS MYRMIDON Jimmy Morris was Bosun he must have had the patience of Job as he had six of us straight out of deck boy school.Anybody know the history of this ship

SS 'Myrmidon' was a Victory ship if you are talking 60/61 when I left.
Jimmy Morris was permanently on the coast and took the Deck Boys fresh from the care of Dennis O'Brian (OB) post 58/59 when he took over from Mick Brabender. He must have been 50 around this time.
